AEW will present a four-hour live Dynamite and Collision special in just a few hours. The sixth Fyter Fest will begin with Dynamite, then air Collision to wrap up at midnight. The Death Riders are set to move forward with their reign of terror as the road continues to Summer Blockbuster, Grand Slam: Mexico, and All In: Texas. One ruthless veteran has just made a bold statement ahead of tonight's show.
Kenny Omega will defend the International Championship at Fyter Fest 2025. The Cleaner is representing Canada in the Fatal 4 Way, expected to be the main event. Brody King of the United States defeated Josh Alexander to qualify for the match, while Mexico's Máscara Dorada beat Hechicero to earn his spot, and Claudio Castagnoli conquered Komander to earn the right to represent Switzerland.
The Swiss Superman has declared himself to be AEW's true International Champion, despite the Fatal 4 Way taking place in several hours. Castagnoli took to X to share a clip from his recent qualifier win over Komander on Collision, which shows him catching a springboard and turning it into the Giant Swing. The former Cesaro of WWE captioned the post with a bold championship claim and a prediction on The Death Riders.
"The true International Champion. The Death Riders will reign," wrote Claudio Castagnoli with the video below.

Castagnoli unsuccessfully challenged Orange Cassidy for the International Championship on Dynamite in November 2023. He came up short in two contenders' matches for a shot at the same title.
